Traumatic paraplegia refers to a condition where the limbs below the site of spinal cord injury become paralyzed due to an external force impacting the spine. It is often caused by direct or indirect violence, with the injury sites prone to occur at segments of the spine that have frequent movement or at physiological curvature transitions. The degree of injury is generally proportional to the magnitude of the violence.
It is recommended to perform moxibustion once a day, targeting 2 to 3 acupoints each time, with each acupoint being treated for 30 to 40 minutes. Rotate the points treated, with a 10-day period constituting one course of treatment, and then rest for 2 to 3 days before continuing with the next course.
(If time permits and there is a need, more acupoints can be treated with moxibustion. The specific duration should be adjusted according to one's own physical needs.)
1. During the patient's bed rest period, attention should be paid to turning the patient frequently and changing their position to prevent the occurrence of bedsores.
2. The patient actively participating in household activities, such as cleaning, cooking, gardening, and taking care of their daily needs as much as possible, is an effective form of functional training.
